watching ralph reed with the most ridiculous argument i've ever heard of the many ridiculous arguments against gay marriage. he's arguing the only reason people get player sid to have children. people get married because they want to be in a loving, committed relationship with each other. there is no reason that fundamental right should be denied. >> to steve's point, ralph reed was not discussing the lawful he is talking about religion and emotional reaction to marriage and the sanctity of it. i want to play this. he was on "meet the press." >> what i said, i think we're going to win. i don't think we're going to win 5-4. i think this is a basic civil rights issue. and i don't think there is the kind of issue that will divide the court the way some other issues divide the court. >> what is your take on that with prop 8? will it divide the court as some other issues? >> i think it will be divisive. i can't call exactly what the numbers breakdown will be but it is important to note that in the california situation, what you've got is a state that first gave rights to same sex marriage.

ralph reed yesterday on "meet the press." >> the issue before the country is do we have a compelling interest in strengthening and supporting the durable, enduring, uniquely complimentary, procreative union of a man and woman. >> you look at divorce rates -- >> the answer, that would be an argument why we ought to strengthen it. >> so steve, there's ralph reed saying this is about the procreative union of a man and woman, which i guess makes rush limbaugh's first three marriages and so far his current marriage indefensible? >> this is exactly the point. when you're talking about civil marriage, marriage recognized by the state, whether it is the first, second, third, fourth, fifth or sixth marriages for some of these people, it is a legal marriage in the eyes of the state. and there will be gay people in happy marriages and gay people in unhappy marriages and there will be divorced gay people. but what is necessary at this point now when you look at the institution of marriage, the profound happiness it can bring to people, a, and b, the fact that it strengthens society, it is an ins
